Buell's choice for the quarterback position was unrivalled as was Owen's selection for fullback. The halfback positions were difficult to select from the many possibilities, including O'Hearn, Mallory, and Jordan of Yale, Crum and Cleaves of Princeton, and Chapin and Gehrke of Harvard. To round out the backfield, it was necessary to select a punter and an end runner, in addition to forming a good defensive combination. O'Hearn alone of the possibilities combined punting ability with excellent open field running, and his showing against the University, when he gained more ground from scrimmage than any other...

Nine years of continuous wrestling with these problems ought to have given Fred Moore a fair amount of good judgment and with his twenty-five years of experience in handling crowds for these games, I think we can safely trust even his snap guesses in preference to other people's well-laid plans.

Equitation may be counted by Freshmen for their required three hours a week for physical training...
...Junior and Sophomore candidates assemble tonight for the CRIMSON's editorial, news and photographic competitions, not unnaturally we hope for a large field to draw from. The quality of the CRIMSON depends, in the long run, upon the quality of its candidates. The more men there are to select from, the better will be the selection and the greater, accordingly, the calibre and usefulness of the paper in the college generation to come...
